A&E to air special on Cosby accusers

'The Women Speak' premiers Sept. 17

Cable channel A&E will air an hour-long special that highlights several of the women who have accused comedian Bill Cosby of sexual assault.

The Associated Press reports that "Cosby: The Women Speak," will be broadcast Thursday, Sept. 17 at 9 p.m.

The show will feature interviews with more than 12 accusers, including actress Louisa Moritz and model Beverly Johnson. 

Cosby's reputation has been in a tailspin since accusations of him sexually assaulting multiple women over the course of several years, dating back to the 1960s, have entered the limelight. 

A July story in New York Magazine highlighted a total of 35 women who have accused Cosby of sexual assault. 

The Philadelphia native has had multiple organizations cut ties with him or erase his namesake and likeness, including educational institutions, city murals, and television networks

Cosby has never been charged with a crime. However, in July, unsealed court records from 2005 revealed he admitted to obtaining Quaaludes in order to give them to young women and have sex with them. 

AP reports that two cases regarding the accusations are pending.
